Updates on Vaccinations

Shawn has completed all the required vaccinations till 6 mths old. Wanted to update long ago but kept forgetting:

5-in-1 - 2nd Dose (15 Jun)
Brought Shawn for his jab on 15 Jun, Sun. Went to the clinic early at about 8.10am to beat the crowd. Shawn was still in dreamland when we carried him. Doctor took his weight and height. Weight was 7.6kg (but must discount a bit cos of his wet diaper). Height wise I can’t see clearly when it was being measured. Shawn cried a little when the vaccine was being injected. Cherylin looked on by the side. Didn’t take any pictures as YC was not with us.

Rotavirus - 2nd Dose (25 Jun)
Wt: 7.5kg Ht: 67cm

Thought it'll be a breeze to administer the 2nd dose since Shawn took the vaccine happily the last time we brought him to Dr Heng for the 1st dose. Dunno why Shawn kept crying when the vaccine was given to him. Maybe he's sleepy? The entire process took a few minutes (cos i videocam-ed and saw the time lapsed).

6-in-1 - 3rd Dose (13 Jul)
Wt: 7.65kg Ht: Oops, can't remember :P

Shawn is a brave little boy. He didn't make any noise when he was poked with the needle and injected with the vaccine. Dr Lawrence was as surprised as I did. He didn't gain much weight since 4 weeks ago though. Height wise i think it's abt the same too. Okie, the next 'compulsory' vaccination for him will be the one for chicken pox (to be taken at 12 mths).
